Fortune Teller

Thousands of miles east of Ruoshui City, there is a valley.

There are lakes hidden in the valley, and the miasma is diffuse, covering hundreds of miles in radius.

From several surrounding mountains, the voices of humans could be faintly heard.

Looking carefully, the human race were in ragged clothes and were trapped between the cliffs. There was no way out except for the lake.

"Mom, I'm hungry..."

A child of only three or four years old hugged the woman's thigh tightly. Although he was young, his eyes were exceptionally clear, and he seemed to be able to reflect the person's figure.

"Be good, you won't be hungry when you sleep!"

The woman caressed the child's head, her eyes filled with tenderness, pain and despair.

Under the cliff, surrounded by lakes and lakes, there are big monsters.

You can't find anything to eat at all in this place, and even if there is, it's just poisonous insects and earthworms.

Under the woman's touch, the child gradually fell asleep, but not long after, he woke up again, accompanied by cooing sounds.

The children's stomachs were already extremely hungry.

"Mom, I'm still hungry."

The woman looked around, gritted her teeth and jumped into the lake.

There are many fish and shrimps in the lake. Those fish and shrimps jump out of the water from time to time, seeming to lure the ragged people.

But everyone looked at the lake with fear.

There are not only fish and shrimps in the lake, but also monsters.

Those monster beasts do not eat the mortals on the shore, but wait for the hungry humans who can no longer stand it. Finally, the human race jumps into the water. It seems that eating this way can satisfy them more.

Sure enough, not long after the woman entered the water, a shadow swam over.

The shadow is huge, two or three feet tall. Even if it is hidden deep in the lake, its outline can be seen clearly.

"Oh, another one dies!"

The old man's legs on the shore were stained with black blood. He was lying half beside the cliff, sighing softly and chewing green mosquitoes in his mouth.

"Two days ago, the man in this family was eaten by a monster. Today, the woman also died, leaving only a three-year-old baby. How many days can she survive?"

Others looked at this scene with numb faces.

Since being trapped between the cliffs, I have seen too many scenes before my eyes.

Mortals are so hungry that they either dig poisonous insects and earthworms from the ground, or get into the lake and catch a small fish ashore before the monsters come.

Those who are more agile can survive for a longer time, while those who are less skilled cannot survive even two days.

The father of the three-year-old child had some foundation in martial arts, so he often jumped into the bottom of the lake to catch fish and shrimps, and succeeded many times. But when he often walked along the river, how could his shoes not get wet?

Just two days ago, a smaller monster lurked at the bottom of the lake. When the man was approaching, it quietly approached and bit the man's neck.

The man died, leaving only orphans and widows, and the outcome was already doomed.

The shadow quietly came to the woman's side, but did not rush to take action.

After a while, the woman finally caught a half-foot-long grass carp. She hugged the fish body excitedly and rushed to the lake.

But at this moment, the shadow suddenly hit the lake, and the huge waves shook the woman high into the air, more than ten feet high.

On the lake surface, the shadow monster opened its huge mouth, which was the size of a water tank. It was waiting directly under the woman, waiting for her to fall and fall into its mouth.

"well!"

Looking at this scene, the mortals on the shore could only sigh and feel helpless.

For a woman who doesn't even know martial arts, entering the lake has no other possibility but death.

at this time.

A ray of sword light came across the sky and tore the monster's body apart instantly. Immediately afterwards, the spiritual power turned into a ribbon, holding up the woman in the air and slowly landing.

The mortals looked shocked. Since they came here, they have never seen a monster fall.

The sword light just now was incredibly fast, but everyone still saw it. They didn't see the sword light, but the monster beast that was torn to pieces.

"Immortal, it's an immortal!"

"The immortals are here to save us!"

The mortals struggled to stand up, and even the nearly half-disabled old man climbed up while holding on to the cliff.

The desire for life is the driving force for these mortals to survive. To survive to this day, they have more or less eaten poisonous insects, rats, and ants, but in the face of death, poisonous insects are nothing.

Whoosh!

The light flashed away, and a green figure stood on the lake. With a slight wave of his right hand, a palm print of more than ten feet in size swept across the lake. In an instant, all the monsters hiding at the bottom of the lake fell, leaving only the fish in the lake. shrimp.

The demon blood dyed the entire lake red.

At the same time, the woman floated down and lay beside Gu Xiuyun.

"The seven orifices are bleeding...the energy is like a gossamer."

Looking at the woman in front of him, Gu Xiuyun shook his head and sighed.

He was still one step late.

When the woman was shocked into the air, she was already close to death. At a height of more than ten feet, the force of the shock was so terrifying that a mortal could not withstand it?

Gu Xiuyun stretched out his left hand and gently landed on the woman's forehead. The true mysterious spiritual power poured into it. The next moment, the woman slowly woke up, but Gu Xiuyun knew that this was a flashback.

The woman's muscles, veins and bones were all broken, and her internal organs were shattered into paste. Such serious injuries could not be saved without life-saving elixirs.

However, most elixirs in the world contain pure spiritual power. If you want to take the elixir, you must first withstand the terrifying impact of spiritual power, so there are very few elixirs that can be taken by mortals.

The best thing to do is for the practitioner to personally tap into the spiritual power, slowly strengthen his physical body, and then take the elixir until his endurance is stronger.

But this woman was only a hair away from death, and even if Gu Xiuyun Gong participated in creation, he couldn't save her.

Perhaps, if Gu Xiuyun could become Zhenxuan Zhenren, or even Shangmiao Zhenren, he could forcibly reverse the vitality and keep this person alive, but Gu Xiuyun now...can't do that.

"Save us, Rishi!"

"Merciful immortal, save us!"

The mortals cried out and knelt on the shore one by one, kowtowing desperately. They had been trapped deep in the cliff for a long time. They had already been in despair, but now they saw the immortal coming, anyone else would fall into madness.

Gu Xiuyun looked at the mortal in front of him and sighed softly.

These mortals were all human beings captured when the Black Sand Demon King was wreaking havoc on the major cities. Of course, the demon's appetite could not be compared to a few hundred mortals, so it was given to the demon beasts under his command.

Gu Xiuyun waved his long sleeves and was about to put the mortal into his Sumeru bag when his brows suddenly frowned.

"This python monster came really fast!"

Above the cliff, a giant one-horned python with a length of thousands of feet was surrounding the cliff. Its cold eyes looked down at the earth, staring at Gu Xiuyun as if he were looking at a dead person. If you dare to act arrogantly in this king’s territory, I will serve you as a side dish today.”

"Oh?" Gu Xiuyun looked up at the sky, "What a coincidence, I also want to eat snake meat. I wonder if the meat of an old demon who has lived for thousands of years is also old!"

"presumptuous!"

The one-horned python's eyes flashed with cold light, and an invisible force suddenly pressed down. That majestic force could not even support the cliffs on both sides, let alone ordinary mortals.
